Crescent Arrangement

I'd like to think of this arrangement as a nice Mother's Day or Spring arrangement.

I love the colors. The flowers all look so bright and inviting, happy and very much in the pastels color scheme of Spring.

The Daffodils really make the arrangement.

I only notice them in the Springtime. Just thought I'd throw that in there.

Flowers: Tulips, Daffodils, Myrtle, Ranunculus.

Garden Bouquet

This bouquet is quite lovely, if I do say so myself.

It is just a great array of greens, whites and cream colors.

It's a beautiful and complementary color scheme that makes this bouquet look effortless and contemporary.

This bouquet is not hand-tied. It was arranged on a Lomey bouquet holder with Oasis foam already in it.

The flowers used: Kale, White and Green Hydrangea, Hypericum berries, Star of Bethlehem, Green Button Mums, Green Dianthus and Lemon Leaf around the base.

It's funny to say that in this bouquet, not one Rose was used. Growing up, I used to love Roses and imagined all bouquets and arrangements had to have Roses in it. I know now that an arrangement can have almost any kind of flower and color and come out beautiful.

Hand Tied Bouquet

This is one of my favorite bouquets I have made.

I'm not lying, as you'll see as time goes on, that each bouquet or arrangement is beautiful in their own way. I shouldn't play favorites so I say they're all my favorites. Hah!

This was the first bouquet I have made taken this floral class, which was sometime in Fall 2011.

I took pics of how I have tied the bouquet, pinning the ribbon in 2 styles using boutonniere pearl pins.

The flowers used: Hydrangeas, Roses, Freesia and Lemon Leaf, as the base around the flowers.

Orchid Corsage and Boutonniere

I've been falling in love with orchids lately.

I love all the colors they display.

This set is simple, but it is so different! The white ribbon and the green Myrtle sets off the orchids' color quite nicely.

The flowers used: Cymbidium Orchids and Myrtle.

Floating Candle Centerpiece

Love this centerpiece!

Who doesn't love an arrangement with a floating candle to set off a mood of this winter whimsy.

If you haven't noticed already, most of my pics consist of the ones I've been making in my floral classes with Sarinya Villanueva, The Daily Petal. She is a wonderful teacher and likes to push my boundaries in floral art. As time goes on, I've noticed I need to relax more in making my arrangements. I'm getting comfortable as I see that it's still beautiful although my Type A personality is competing when it comes to trying to create with perfection. I'm starting to broaden my horizons in creating.

The flowers used for this creation: Dusty Miller, Spider Mums, Hydrangeas, Spray Roses, and Berzillia.

White feathers were interspersed in this arrangement giving it an ethereal, wispy, airy feel and to complement the Dusty Miller.

Wreath

Made a Wreath for the Holidays.

I strayed from the norm. Instead of a circular wreath, I made a square one.

I loved the Peacock feathers to tie in all the colors.

Floral used: Balsa Wood Flowers, Button Mums, Succulents, Deer Moss, Spanish Moss and Twine Balls.

Asymmetrical Centerpiece

This Asymmetrical Centerpiece is fall/winter themed.

This was such a pleasure to make.

The flowers used: China Mums, Star of Bethlehem, Dendrobium Orchids, 

Princess Pine and mixed Evergreens.

I loved adding the accents to make this centerpiece more festive with gold pinecones and glittered faux leaves.

The China Mums were so fluffy and soft like little pillows. I am beginning to appreciate every flower I've used and will be using in the future.
